September 12, 2005 Men’s Cross Country Finishes First At Bradley Invite EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. - The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men’s cross country team placed first at the Bradley Invitational last weekend. The Cougars travel to Charleston this Saturday for the Panther Open. “I was very happy with how the men ran at the Bradley Open,” said SIUE cross country coach Eileen McAllister. “They are running together as a team which will be the key to success at the end of the season.” SIUE scored 24 points ahead of second place Rend Lake, who finished with 63 points. Erik Steffens (Moline) finished first with a time of 25:27.95. Brian Taghon (East Moline) came in second with a mark of 25:29.89. Kyle Cameron (Moline) came in with a time of 26.17.83 in fifth place. Brian Getz (East Moline) finished in seventh place with a mark of 26.24. Just 15 seconds behind Getz was Josh Bozue (Fairborne, Ohio) in ninth place. “Steffens, Taghon, Cameron, Getz and Bozue all had terrific races,” said McAllister. “Erik ran a very smart race. Kyle is impacting the team in a big way for a freshman. Getz and Bozue are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were last year.” The meet begins at 9:45 in the morning on Saturday. -siue cougars- |
